SUMMARY:How to Scale Your Passion And Build a Movement: Dialogues Across Difference
DESCRIPTION:Join the USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future for a conversation with activists Shannon Watts and Benji Backer!\n\n\nJoin the USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future for a conversation with activists Shannon Watts and Benji Backer\, whose organizations have mobilized millions to push for social change. They will share lessons from leadership\, organizing at scale\, and driving progress on causes from gun safety to protecting the environment. \n \nThough Watts is a Democrat and Backer is a Republican\, both have turned their passion for change into something deeper. Part of the Dialogue Across Difference series\, this discussion transcends partisanship\, underscoring the importance of committing to a cause larger than yourself. \n \nThis discussion is part of CPF’s Dialogue Across Difference series and will also be featured on the Let’s Find Common Ground podcast\, showcasing how leaders with different perspectives can turn passion into lasting change. Free lunch and signed books will be available while supplies last. \n \nRun of Show: \n\n12:00 PM – 12:30 PM … Lunch\n12:30 PM – 1:30 PM … Moderated Discussion\n1:30 PM – 2:00 PM … Book Signing\n\n \nPanelists include: \n\nKamy Akhavan (moderator) – Managing Director\, USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future\nShannon Watts – Founder\, Moms Demand Action; author of Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age and of Fight Like a Mother: How a Grassroots Movement Took on the Gun Lobby and Why Women Will Change the World\nBenji Backer – CEO & Founder\, Nature is Nonpartisan; author of The Conservative Environmentalist: Common Sense Solutions for a Sustainable Future\n\n \nFired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age is the newest book from Shannon Watts\, and it tells her own story\, as well as the stories of other women who have channeled their passions and beliefs into impactful movements. She argues that it is never too late to live your values and live purposefully. Fired Up shows you how to feed the fire inside of you to not only change your life\, but the lives of others as well. \n \nThe Conservative Environmentalist: Common Sense Solutions for a Sustainable Future is the debut book from Benji Backer\, and in it\, he argues that the two perspectives on climate change provided to us by the mainstream political parties\, doomerism and denial\, are dead ends. Instead\, he argues that there is a way to take care of the planet while also prioritizing American political interests. The book draws on science\, a profound understanding of community needs\, and Backer’s political experience to provide a compelling approach to securing a sustainable future.

SUMMARY:Reconfiguring Diaspora: Jews and Polish Solidarność in the 1980s
DESCRIPTION:This talk by the Oxford historian Katherine Lebow explores not only how Polish Jews shaped Solidarity\, but how Solidarity shaped Polish Jews\n\n\nThe fact that Jews and those of Jewish descent played an outsized role in the democratic opposition in Poland in the 1980s\, including the Solidarity (Solidarność) movement\, has been little acknowledged or studied. This talk explores not only how Polish Jews shaped Solidarity\, but how Solidarity shaped Polish Jews. Solidarity served as a space for the reinvention of Jewish identities and a crucial vector of relations with the global Jewish diaspora. Yet these relations were marked by tension and competing visions of diaspora\, culminating in the controversies surrounding the 40th anniversary commemorations of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1983. The talk concludes by asking what the story of Solidarity and its Jewish supporters might tell us about broader reconfigurations of global Jewish politics in the 1980s.

SUMMARY:Tech and Well-Being: Issues of Policy & Practice
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the promises and perils of data-driven systems\n\n\nHow do emerging technologies influence our sense of well-being? From predictive analytics in social services to the role of social media in youth mental health\, this event explores both the promises and perils of data-driven systems. Featuring experts in AI\, homelessness policy\, and digital sociology\, we’ll discuss how technology is reshaping care\, community\, and democracy. \nSpeakers: Dennis Culhane\, PhD\, Shana Kleiner\, LMS\, Isabel Algrant\, and Ken Miles. Moderated by Anthony Shaw\, MPM\, EdM \n——– \nSpeaker Biographies:Dennis P.

Shaw’s research sits at the intersection of Policy\, Technology\, and Race\, exploring the relationships between structural racism\, the under-representation of Black developers in AI design\, and the portrayal of Blackness in the digital world. His work examines how representations and user experiences reinforce anti-Blackness and perpetuate the oppression of Black communities. His academic trajectory and research agenda have been shaped by his lived experiences growing up in North Philadelphia\, where he witnessed firsthand the impact of disinvestment\, poverty\, and violence on marginalized communities.Specifically\, Shaw’s work critically examines how Black males engage with AI and social media\, how these engagements shape their behaviors\, self-perceptions\, and mental wellness\, and the broader implications for social behavioral theory. By following this population\, Shaw seeks to analyze the consequences of past policy decisions and their impact on the lived experiences of marginalized communities. One core question that anchors his scholarship is\, “How do AI and social media shape and perpetuate narratives of violence\, construct racialized identities\, and reinforce systemic exclusion?” His broader research interests include algorithmic governance\, digital ethics\, and the evolving relationship between AI\, policy-making\, and structural inequality. Through his work\, he seeks to uncover the systemic barriers that perpetuate racial and economic inequities while highlighting the potential for AI to be leveraged in service of social justice.His work highlights how the underrepresentation of Black developers in AI design results in algorithmic biases that reinforce racial stereotypes and contribute to the marginalization of Black communities. By examining the intersection of AI\, racial bias\, and technological exclusion\, Shaw aims to bridge the gap between online interactions and real-world violence\, ultimately contributing to AI-driven policy interventions that foster community resilience and equitable technology development. \nShaw holds a BA in Political Science from Temple University\, a Master’s in School Leadership & Development from Harvard University’s Graduate School in Education\, and a Master’s in Policy Management from Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy.

SUMMARY:Innovation Across Borders: Technology\, Culture\, Policy\, + Inclusive Futures
DESCRIPTION:From Kyoto to the Caucasus: Transferring Inclusive Innovation from Japanese Subcultures to Georgia and Beyond\n\n\nInnovation today is at a crossroads: while AI and emerging technologies promise transformation\, innovation ecosystems often reinforce exclusion and technoableism. Japan offers a living laboratory for inclusive innovation. This research at Kyoto Institute of Technology introduces “strategic drifting”. and an adaptive design framework that integrates co-design\, cultural values\, and environmental sustainability to foster inclusive entrepreneurship. Fieldwork in Okinawa demonstrates how participatory innovation -from coral restoration led by individuals with cognitive differences to software co-design by neurodiverse teams – creates multidimensional value: economic\, social\, cultural\, and ecological. Anchored in Japanese philosophies such as ikigai and minimalism\, these insights reveal how culture and inclusion co-create systemic impact. The study further explores the transfer of these practices to Georgia\, Eastern Europe\, and Central Asia\, outlining strategies for inclusive innovation funds\, ecosystem mapping\, and culturally resonant policy frameworks. This work invites policymakers\, researchers\, and practitioners to reconceptualize innovation not merely as technological progress but as a lever for social belonging\, equity\, and sustainable value creation.
